Its not the heat, but the humidity, we are told, but it doesn't help | a bit. All we know is that its a little too warm for comfort. Good weather is all that is required to make the Decatur Centennial the greatest event ot its kind ever given in any town this size in a dozen middle western states. We invite every merchant to, use our columns this week and next. We believe the visitors here will expect to see your advertisements and we know it will bring you good results. it won't be long now. By the j time we get decorated and arranged. the occasion will be here and by this time next week, the cfty will be crowded with old and new friends. The Republican leaders admit President Roosevelt has done a good Job in taking us out of the depression and now they want to get in so they can make it necessary for some one to save the old ship of state again.

The recent showers in this locality have helped crops and the outlook for a profitable harvest is very good. Not the best perhaps,, but average and the prices will be sufficient to make up tor a little shortage if there should be one. Extra copies of the Centennial edition of the Daily Democrat are available for those who wish to buy them to send to friends or relatives. They will be glad to read the various stories, features and announcements of merchants and manufacturers. The greatest thing about the' Centennial celebration is the get-to-gether spirit necessarily manifested and we doubt if that has: ever been excelled any where as compared to the Decatur celebration. Every one has helped to carry the good work along. They are spending millions to build up Mr. Landon but stop and think what the reasons are. Its the job hunter who is out. -and wants in and the representatives

CHANGE OB 1 ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address. '

[of business who expect to profit by x certain protection that a national * administration might give them. Governor Landon will not make '■ many speeches during the camt palgn. His managers are too wise | for that. He doesn’t say much and | doesn't say it very well, so his * campaign will be a Harding "front t page" show, in all probability, letting the "dirt throweHT’ do the > work. 1 Before you make up your mind ’ how you will vote, stop and com- , pare conditions now with four * years ago. We are out of the depression and if Roosevelt is reelected you can expect four of the best years you have ever seen. If he isn't we ’don't know what the results will be. Why take any ;chances? Genuine sorrow was felt here, over the death of Nelson K. Todd of Fort Wayne, whose funeral was ; conducted yesterday. Mr. Todd was recognized as one ot the expert tax attorneys of the state. Reared at Bluffton, he visited here frequently and a few years ago. knew about every body in this locality. Roy Baker, in charge of state highways in this section of the state is arranging to reroute the i roads so as not to jamb traffic during Centennial week. Number 27 will probably go north on Thirteenth to Monroe, and east to Fifth and 224 will turn north at i Fifth to Marshall, east to First and south to Monroe street. He will j make such changes as the people here feel best for every one. An Illinois driver ran the red light at the corner of Monroe and Second streets last evening and only the fact that the driver of a ; ear, coming from the south and I with the right 6f way had a good set of brakes, saved a terrible accident. It is well to remember I when driving in a strange city that ( traffic lights are put up for a purpose and should be strictly observed. If this country ever gets back to the normalcy most folks have in mind it will be when they give j more attention to the church. It is fitting therefore that the Centennial open with services for

every one next Sunday. From 10:30 a. m. until eight o'clock at night, beautiful and inspiring religious services will be given at Niblick field and every one is invited. It should be an auspicious opening of our big birthday party. 0 [■ Household Scrapbook* By Roberta Lee Light Bulbs Many housewives are neat and carefu’ as to dusting the furniture, but never think to wipe off the electric light bulbs with a dampened chamois.

It is a two-car building, built entirely of cobble stones, gathered by Mr. Schafer within a radius of four ini'es of Decatur and carted home in the rear of his car, a few at a time. More than 100 tons of stone were used in its construction, the stones averaging 75 pounds apiece. Cecil was assisted in the work by his grandfather. Jacob Aughenbaugh. 76. a stone mason for 50 years, w4io did the masonry on the garage, it’s a fine job and much skill has been manifested with rough stone as material.

Cady who are in Rangoon, Burma. Mrs. Cady will be remembered here as Miss Vivian Thomlas. Dr. Cady is professor of history at Judson College in Rangoon. I He and Mm. Cady arrived at Rangoon a year ago, July 23 and have had many interesting experiences. Mrs. Cady was graduated from Franklin College where Mr. Cady was an instructor. He was a graduate of Depauw University, The letter follows: Judson College. Rangoon. Burma, May 25, 1936. Dear Mother and Dad: We left Mayfliyo early Thursday morning end drove to Mandalay, a distance, of forty miles. There we spent all of Thursday visiting som* interesting historical sites. We stayed with the Rogers' in Toungoo Friday night and reached home Saturday afternoon. We arrived just in time too. for the monsoon broke on Friday and Saturday. There were several bad detours up country that would have caused us some difficulty if we had not come over them before the rains started. In the last seventy miles of our trip we drove through intermittent downpours of rain. It has been raining very hard both yesterday and today. One notices a great difference in coming down to sea level in this intensely humid atmoshpere after having been living in the mountains for a couple of months We both enjoyed outvacation very much, and in our various trips we gained a perspective of both the country and the mission work that we could not have gained otherwise. And now it is so nice to be home again where there is plenty of room and no one elee Is in the way. We spent a whole day in Mandalay. with Miss Parrott of Mayinyo, a Franklin graduate, and formerly of Linn Grov. I think I told you about her in a previous letter. She had been there in Mandalay at the girls' school for twenty-five years, before her retirement, so she knew all about everything and was an excellent guide. One of the buildings at the girls’ school was built with the funds given by the Indiana women and it is a contribution of which the women's societies can be justly proud. Mandalay is right down on the plains bordering on the Irrawaddy river, and it is terribly hot and dusty for a greater part of the year. It lies in the dry belt where only twenty-three inches of rain falls annually. The temperature was nearly a hundred the day we were there, the sun, being directly overhead, was so intense that we remained indoors throughout the middle of the day. Mandalay was formerly a city of some 180,000 people, but the removal of the government headquarters and the ravages of plague have reduced it in recent years to about 125,000. It is probably the strongest Buddhist center in Burma. It is said that one person in every tefi Is a monk or priest or ponggyi. The pagodas number in the thousands, and several of them are very famous. A huge image of bronze which weighs forty tons or more and a large image made of a single piece ot alabaster twenty-five feet high are both there. The municipality recently paid 300,000 rupees (about $110,000) for two alleged bones of Buddha, the founder of the religion. For the housing of this treasure they are erecting a temple at an enormous cost. This is a city with miserable streets, no sewer system, and hopelessly inadquate educational facilities. Os course no one is sure that the bones really are those of Guatama Buddha, and if they are. what good would it be? The British authorities have tried repeatedly to stamp out the plague by destroying the rats, but the Buddhists will not have them killed, it being against their faith to take life ot any sort. They believe in the transmigration theory, and one might be killing his grandfather, who knows? At any rate you would lose cutho 'merit in the after life) by killing the rats and you would proportionately gain merit by saving them Miss Parrott lived through some ot the worst plagues Mandala*- ever had so she had some terrible stories to tell.

We also visited two of the sites connected with Judson's imprisonment during the first British-Bur-mese war In 1824-25. The castle site at 4va is practically gone, only the watch tower remains. A large , stone of alabaster marks the site of the prison where he suffered for almost a year. We also visited a village where he was taken when the British armies drew near to the prison where th* European prisoners were kept. A little Bap. tist church marks the site of this [Prison now.

ferred to this Uttar place, he had : to wtalk for some twelve miles barefoot across the fields in the burning May sun. The other European to whom he was chained died I on the way. It was a pretty solemn sight all told. Miss Parrott also took us through [ the royal .palace which was aban-, dohed when the British took over the entire country in 1885. It would take several pages to describe all of this. Only the main buildings were still standing in the enclosure for the houses were formerly packed in like sardines, in most unsanitary condition*. In one of the buildings they had a replica in miniature of the original so one could picture the crowded conditions. All of the interior of the main buildings, walls, mammoth teak-wook columns and all were covered with gold leaf. The thrones were there all decorated with glass and all sorts of mosaics made of mirror glass. The king had four main wives and about eighty concubines at his disopsal. and the court was a mass of intrigue. naturally. The first ranking queen was a vicious person who
